Why You’ll Love This Event
• Tequila is one of the fastest-growing spirits out there – even as the overall booze market chills, tequila keeps climbing with premium pours and global love (it’s been a top performer for years, and projections show steady growth into the late 2020s!).
• It’s often called one of the “healthier” spirits (in moderation, of course!) – 100% agave tequila is low in calories (around 64–97 per shot), has zero carbs or added sugars, and is naturally gluten-free. Skip the sugary mixers, and it’s a cleaner choice compared to many liquors!
Tequila tasting styles explained
How it’s made & the main types – All real tequila starts with the blue Weber agave plant (harvested after 7–12 years of slow growth in Mexico’s volcanic soils).
The hearts (piñas) are cooked, fermented, distilled, and sometimes aged in oak.
Here’s the quick rundown:
o Blanco/Silver → Unaged or super-short rest – crisp, bold agave flavor, perfect for fresh margaritas!
o Reposado → Rested 2 months to 1 year – smoother, with vanilla and caramel notes, great for sipping or premium cocktails.
o Añejo → Aged 1–3 years – rich, oaky, like a fine whiskey – ideal for slow sipping.
o Extra Añejo → 3+ years – ultra-luxurious, deep, and complex.
Come taste the difference yourself at the Slam – pure agave magic awaits!
